Chapter 545: Chapter 154: Bitter Struggle!

Seeing this, many Human Race Cultivators were overjoyed,

The exit was blocked by a Tier Four Great Demon, and they didn’t dare to provoke it, so they had to fiercely battle these Demon Beasts,

Now that this breach appeared, giving them a hope of escape, they naturally didn’t want to fight desperately any longer.

As a result, many Core Formation Cultivators, without hesitation, abandoned the Demon Beasts in front of them, using their Divine Techniques to rush towards the breach.

Escape Light flickered, and within moments, they passed through the breach and escaped the relic!

Those Demon Beasts already had the upper hand, having long regarded these Human Core Formation Cultivators as their prey,

the ducks flying away from their mouths, how could they let it go, and they all pursued!

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen Human Race Core Formation Cultivators had run out.

For a moment, the originally crowded relic became slightly more spacious.

On the other side, Zhou Xun appeared again, just arriving beside Li Daniu,

The Extreme Blade in his hand flickered, piercing directly into the back of the head of a Tier Three Low-Grade Shrimp Demon in front, killing it with one blow!

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Li Daniu was delighted, feeling moved,

"Quickly get out!" Zhou Xun advised, waving his hand to collect the Shrimp Demon’s corpse into a Storage Bag, then fixed his gaze on another Demon Beast.

The Tier Four Demon Crocodile saw this and was furious at heart,

Facing a Human Core Formation Cultivator, not only did it miss with one strike, but also unintentionally opened a breach, allowing many Human Race Cultivators to escape.

This was almost a slap to its face,

For a grand Tier Four Demon Emperor to be toyed with by a Human Core Formation Cultivator, if word got out, how could it continue to mingle!

Burning with rage inside,

It chanted a curse, and black light flashed on its body,

Only to see the protrusions on its body detaching one by one, hovering in front of the Demon Crocodile, numbering over a hundred!

This demon unexpectedly used the Artifact Refining Technique of the Human Race to refine these protrusions into Magical Treasures!

"Go!"

The Demon Crocodile pointed at Zhou Xun!

Over a hundred black cones transformed into streaks of black flowing light, dividing into dozens of directions, striking towards Zhou Xun,

clearly intending to trap Zhou Xun to death. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Come on then!"

It was his first time seeing the techniques of Human Qi Refiners replicated by the Demon Race!

Actually, in the Cultivation Realm, there is another term for these Tier Four and above Demon Beasts, which is Demon Cultivator!

By now, most of the Human Race Cultivators in the relic had left,

allowing Zhou Xun to let loose,

This time he didn’t dodge, intending to take this attack head-on!

He formed seals with his hands, chanting incantations, and pointed with a single hand!

"Rise!"

Suddenly, Thunder Light appeared in the air, Thunder Arcs flashed, and hundreds of Thunder Shields appeared mid-air, blocking the path of those black cones!

"Boom!"

The cones collided with the Thunder Shields, emitting explosive sounds!

The cones were sent flying backward!

And Zhou Xun’s Thunder Shields also disintegrated one by one!

This strike ended in a draw!

The Demon Crocodile was stunned observing this scene; although this move wasn’t its strongest, it was still of the Fourth Realm!

The person before it, based on mana fluctuations, was only at Core Formation, how could they block its whole attack?

"A Nascent Soul from the Human Race?"

The Demon Crocodile couldn’t help but voice out.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun laughed heartily.

It seemed that with the augmentation of the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, his current strength was no less than that of an average Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!

"What does it matter whether I am or not, after all, we have to fight it out!" Zhou Xun chuckled lightly.

The Demon Crocodile frowned hearing this. It had planned for so long solely to attract enough Human Core Formation Cultivators and capture them in one go,

yet the arrival of this Human True Monarch Nascent Soul complicated things.

However, what this person said was indeed correct,

At this point, there was no other way than to have a showdown and prove oneself in battle!

"Then let me witness the friend’s true skills!" The Demon Crocodile said coldly,

Its body suddenly flashed, expanding as if inflated, finally turning into a giant crocodile over five hundred feet in size!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but marvel,

Indeed worthy of a Tier Four Demon Emperor,

even its size alone wasn’t easy to handle!

"Haha, such a huge crocodile!" Zhou Xun felt extremely excited,

forming seals with his hands, changing the spell in his hands, then pointed to the sky,

"Rise"

At that moment, the Thunder Seeds scattered throughout the relic erupted instantly,

Thunder Chains thousands of feet long condensed in mid-air, rolling and intertwining, turning the relic into a Thunder Prison,

"Go!"

Zhou Xun changed his spell again, pointing at the giant crocodile!

Thirty-six Thunder Chains swept over in an instant.

The Demon Crocodile attempted to evade, yet found no way to dodge, so its giant claw propped up towards the sky!

Boom!

A black giant curtain formed mid-air, blocking the Thunder Chains outside, constantly pulling and resisting!

Zhou Xun changed his spell again, sending streams of Spirit Light upward,

The Thunder Chains brightened significantly, white Thunder flashes,

It was Zhou Xun’s Yin Thunder!

Seeing the Demon Crocodile slightly halted by this Thunder,

Catching this chance, the Thunder Chains instantly suppressed the black curtain, nearly reaching the Demon Crocodile’s body,

Seeing this, the Demon Crocodile was shocked, hurriedly increasing its Demonic Power output, luckily suppressing Zhou Xun’s chains back a bit!

"Truly the Tier Four Demon Emperor, indeed not easily dealt with!"

Zhou Xun knew that in such a tug-of-war, ultimately he would be the one to fall,

After all, he only had Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivation, even with the augmentation of the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, able to contend with a Tier Four Demon Emperor,

but his mana capacity wasn’t enhanced!

On the other hand, this Tier Four Demon Crocodile also began to have a hint of regret,

apparently, neither could do much to the other, yet it was the Demon Crocodile being firmly suppressed, unable to move.

Especially after the attack of that Yin Thunder, the Demon Crocodile only felt its body growing gradually numb, with worsening tendency!

"No, I can’t stay here!"

The Demon Crocodile’s heart hardened, changed its spell, and pointed at its Demon Pill,

Instantly an extremely strong Demonic Power surged out,

Immediately after, the Demon Crocodile shrunk by several hundred times, transforming into a mini Demon Crocodile, fixing on a direction, it was about to charge!

...

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun reconsidered all his methods,

be it the Celestial Spirit Talisman Array or Blood Demon Child, although very powerful even in the Core Formation Stage, they were insufficient against the Tier Four Demon Emperor.

"Right now, only the Profound Thunder Sword remains, hoping with the enhancement of Nascent Soul Level mana, its power can reach the Tier Four level!"

After all, the Profound Thunder Sword is merely a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure!

With a flip of his hand, the Profound Thunder Sword appeared suspended in front of him!

Zhou Xun formed seals with his hands, sending a Spirit Light onto it!

"Sword Shadow Unification"

Twenty-seven Sword Lights split out, then merged into the Profound Thunder Sword one by one, with each merge, the Thunder Sword’s power increased slightly!

All twenty-seven merged, the power increased by nearly half!

At this moment, the giant Demon Crocodile below turned once again, shrinking by several hundred times, then transformed into a Black Light,

directly breaking out of Zhou Xun’s Thunder Chain range,

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, it collided out of the relic, about to flee!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was startled, then reacted,

"It’s trying to run!"

Promptly pointing at the Demon Crocodile,

The Thunder Sword turned into a streak of blue light, chasing straight after,

At the same time, Zhou Xun’s mind moved, a pair of wings spanning over ten feet appeared on his back, with a gentle flap, he appeared several hundred feet away.

Rushing towards the Demon Crocodile.

After a stick of incense time, Zhou Xun returned to the small island with a face full of regret,

"Indeed, at the level above Tier Four, whether human or demon, all have bottom-of-the-box methods, wanting to kill, really too difficult!"

"No matter, obtaining the Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng was not in vain, and besides, there’s still the Void Tribulation Flower!"
